Have you heard of the website Diet Bet? They host these diet
bets for people who are trying to get healthier and lose weight, you bet your
own money that you'll lose 4% of your body weight in a certain amount of time
and lots of other people do too! You essentially bet on yourself to win! If you
do, you get your money back plus some... if you lose, then you lose your money.

WELL, I'm excited to tell you that Beachbody is doing a Diet
Bet.... BUTTTT you don't have to put up ANY of your own money! They're handing
out over $1,000,000 - $3,000,000 in cash prizes to customers who are part of Accountability
Groups on the My Challenge Tracker App!

The challenge is pretty simple,

From September 5th - October 2nd you can qualify for winning
part of the total cash prize. The amount you win is determined by how many
people actually follow through with logging their workouts and shakes!

Here are the rules:

Rule 1: You MUST be registered in my challenge group on the
app by August 31st!

Rule 2: Log a minimum of FIVE Shakeology's every week WITH a
picture attached!

Rule 3: Log a minimum of THREE Workouts every week in the
Workout Log Section of the app. (No pic, video needed)

Rule 4: You MUST have a valid first name, last name, email
and mailing address in order to be paid out.

IF YOU MEET ALL OF THOSE QUALIFICATIONS ABOVE YOU GET TO
SPLIT THE PRIZE MONEY EQUALLY AMONG EVERYONE ELSE WHO DOES TOO!!! THIS IS THE
EASIEST WAY TO EARN MONEY THAT I'VE EVER HEARD OF!!

Why should you join in BESIDES the prize money?

ACCOUNTABILITY! It's proven that by checking in with a group
of friends (in person or virtual!) helps keep you on track, mindful of your
decisions and more likely to FINISH a workout program!

So there you have it, a super easy way to make
money this September. Are you in?!!!

If you ever need a clean treat in the place of ice cream, this is the go to right here. When I first heard about this I thought....yeah right that is not going to taste like ice cream...well it does. I mean let's be honest there is a difference...but not significant enough for you to still have to dive head first into the Breyers when your craving hits. This amazing replacement satisfies the sweet, cool and creamy craving with ZERO regret.

Clean ice cream😋

Frozen banana

A few tablespoons of cashew milk (almond is fine)

A tablespoon of cocoa powder and toss it in the food processor until creamy. The great thing about this is you can do anything with it. Skip the chocolate and use fresh strawberries to make strawberry ice cream or real vanilla bean and vanilla extract to make vanilla. The possibilities are endless and because you use a frozen banana it has the temperature and consistency of real ice cream.. Enjoy :)

Today
at church pastor Franklin was speaking about this being the last 5
months of the year and for some reason I didn't really realize that
until he said it. This year is almost over, my how time flies. So it got
me to thinking... what do I want to do with the rest of this year?

Well, I decided that I want to push myself to see just what I can do. I want to push my mind and my body to be and do better
than I have ever done before. I mean as human beings if we stop growing
and getting better we're dying right? I actually heard that somewhere
and while I don't quite think not growing means we're dying. I do
believe it keeps you stuck and just existing. Well I don't want to just
exist.

I want to live, thrive, grow, and evolve. I want to push
my body to it's limits and I want to set goals and crush them. So I
came up with a list that I put on my bathroom mirror so I can see it
everyday. Don't look at me I look a mess..lol But I put it there to
remind me everyday of what my goals are and what I need to do to reach
them.

So in 3 weeks after Country heat I will send in my transformation photos to Beachbody for one of the cash prizes..

In 4 weeks I submit my results to oxygen for the cover contest.

In 3 months I will compete in my second half marathon at Disney.

And in 5 short months I will take the stage again for my 2nd figure show at Wbff in Atlantic City.

I am very excited and looking forward to all these goals. I know it's
not going to be easy and I will have to make a lot of sacrifices but if
they were easy they wouldn't change me.. and staying the same is not in
my game plan.

Today's
salad creation features a dressing I made from the Country Heat meal
plan, a yummy balsamic vinaigrette. It was so good and so easy to make. I
already had all of the ingredients in my kitchen. And an added bonus,
you can also drizzle over baked or grilled chicken, fish or veggies.

Try to avoid washing mushrooms but if you have to, use as little water
as possible. Mushrooms absorb water and get very watery while cooking. •
A clean brush (like a paintbrush) or cheesecloth is a good way to
clean mushrooms.

As, I mentioned before me and some of my girls in my accountability group are collectively studying "Made to Crave". So here is a little gem I received this evening. What
stood out to me the most in tonight's reading was her break down of the
definition of compromise. I have never really dug into it before. I
mean, we all know it means to give something up but to think of it as
exposing me or making me vulnerable...well gosh, how much more
vulnerable can I be than right now on this journey? And then to top it
off another definition of the word is to weaken...YIKES!!! Have you ever
considered that before...that every time you compromise your commitment
to getting fit and healthy that in some way your weakened....holy moly.
But to know that I was made for more than compromise. I was made for
more than constantly giving away something or a piece of me. Isn't that
sort of the way you feel when you give in to a temptation? Like you
just gave up some part of you that you wanted, like a piece of your new found growth,like some part of the new
you that was developing.. I do.. I/We are made for more, we are made for
God's promises, in every area of our life. Don't fall for the lies that
Satan whispers to you....you know that little voice in your head that says it's not fair that you can't eat that, or you deserve the chocolate cake. And don't let him tell you how good it will feel
in the moment. Think about how you will feel in the morning or immediately after for that matter. That helps a
lot when I think about drinking. I think of everything I will be throwing away, how disappointed I will be in myself, not to mention my family. Now that latter part doesn't necessarily coincide with getting healthy but you would essentially be give away all that you've worked so hard to build. Don't Compromise.....
